Don’t Breathe Topples Suicide Squad at the Box Office
Sony's new horror film Don't Breathe had an incredibly successful opening weekend, debuting in first place at the domestic box office with $26.1 million.
As noted by Variety, the film has already earned more than double its $10 million production budget and dethroned Suicide Squad, as Warner Bros.' comic book flick slipped to second place with $12.1 million after holding the top spot for three weeks in a row.
"This film is going to be a big moneymaker for us," Sony distribution chief Rory Bruer said of Don't Breathe's successful opening weekend. "We knew we had something special here. This is a film that’s all about keeping people jumping out of their seats and holding on to the person next to them."
The Tennessee Titans Love Super Smash Bros.
It's the time of year when most NFL teams are narrowing their focus to one thing: the opening of the 2016-2017 football season. However, the Tennessee Titans, who play their first game Sunday, September 11, are giving themselves room to focus on another brutal competition: Super Smash Bros.
The N64 classic that started it all has become an obsession of the team, according to an article from The Ringer.
"On any given day, four Titans players can be found playing the game," the article states. Behind each smashing Titan stand teammates, waiting for next.
The impetus for the Tennessee Smashfest came when summer renovations of the team's training facility saw the removal of TVs and PlayStations from the locker room. That's when 2014 first-round draft pick Taylor Lewan brought in his Nintendo 64 and set it up.

Blizzard Streaming, the developer's foray into the world of live streaming gameplay, launched today. The feature allows its PC users to broadcast any Blizzard game straight through the Battle.net client.
